Why would they need to call a driver during his daily rest period if it’s not to force a reduced daily rest period.
IE in exactly what circumstances would they need to call within 11 hours of previous finish time unless they want him to start in less than 11 hours from the start of his daily rest period.
So a 4 am start should obviously be notified to the driver by 5pm the previous day at the latest.If not that’s obviously an enforced reduced daily rest period which is what this all seems about to me if not it would obviously be a non issue because the driver would know by 5 pm if it’s a 4 am start by default of the 11 hour daily rest period.I think you may need to read up (go on - Google it) on what a “Reduced Daily Rest” actually means, as you clearly don’t understand it.
As for the first question:
Driver finishes his shift at 2pm, fully expecting to be starting his next shift at 7am the following day, so he plans his evening so as to allow him to get to bed around 10pm, ensuring he can get 8 hours’ sleep before having a S,S&S and driving to work. However, as the plan for the next day’s runs is assembled later that evening, it becomes apparent that they actually need him to start at 4am, so they send him a text at 8pm effectively saying “You really should have been in bed an hour ago…”.
Or a text could equally be sent saying
“Your 04hr00 start, is now 07hr00”.
No reason to assume loads are always ready when expected, and delays are common.
